Pros

Your peers are great people. They are the ones running this place, being taken advantage of, and without formal recognition.

Cons

Nepotism and incompetence go hand in hand at Sr management level and is protected no matter what by the higher level. Multiple layers of "leadership" with no purpose in place while the ground force gets burnout. Useless meetings all for a show. Funny how sobriety before the job is done needs to be emphasized as a standard for performance requirement.

Pros

Collaborative team at the IC level Nice product perks and gratis Decent long-term stable company

Cons

Mid-level management feels stifled by ED and VPs who've been there for 10+ years without change and don't use modern leadership technique or philosophy. Unwilling to change their antiquated ways despite asks from Executives to modernize. Unclear leadership directives.
